Mary Virginia (Jenny) Wade, age 20, killed when a random bullet from the Battle of Gettysburg went through the door of her sisters house and hit her in the back and heart. She died instantly. She was visiting her sister to help her with her newborn baby. She died in the presence of her mother while they were in the kitchen kneading dough for bisquits. And by the way, as a side story, in her apron pocket was a photograph of her boyfriend, Jack Skelly, who unbeknownst to her, had died a week ago in Virginia while fighting with the Pennsylvannia Regiment. They are buried near each other.
